Why grilling and Why grill with coconut oil?

Coconut oil has a higher smoke point than olive oil. It is not only great for grilling, but also good for broiling, sautéing and stir frying. It is a more natural choice than vegetable oil, and it offers multiple health benefits.

Even though coconut oil and other alternatives have similar calorie and total fat content, coconut oil is high in medium-chain triglycerides that the body can metabolize quickly and use for energy.

In regard to grilling, there are health benefits to cooking your food on the grill versus on the stove or oven. 

Eat Less Fat

When you grill, you eat less fat because the excess drips off the grates. On the grill, the fat cooks off.  

Nutritionally Advantage

Vegetables retain more of their vitamins and minerals when they’re grilled. This is especially true with veggies that have a low water content. 

Wrapping in tin foil or just placing on top of your grill, cooking your veggies in this manner is nutritionally advantageous than boiling or frying. 

When you toss a slab of meat over the fire, it actually preserves more riboflavin and thiamine. Both of these nutrients play a vital role in a healthy diet, as well as have many health benefits associated with each of them. 

Because the grill locks in more moisture, you’ll be less inclined to reach for the butter or other condiments to jazz up your food. Not only does that means you eat fewer calories, but you put less unhealthy stuff in your body. 

However, some doctors said charcoal used during the grilling process can expose you and your food to cancer-causing chemicals. And so if you want to use charcoal to cook, it is recommended that you do not overcook the meat and keep it out of the smoke as much as possible. Some doctors recommend using a gas grill instead. In addition, marinating the meat, is believed to help eliminate these cancer-causing chemicals by up to 99%.

Can I take all the supplements together?

Take All together?

It depends. It depends on what you take, how much you take and why you are taking the supplements you have.

First of all, it is necessary to carefully read the directions on the labels.Some supplements react negatively with specific nutrients, so you need to have to space things out. For example, high doses of fish oil can react with certain herbs (including ginkgo), which can affect areas of the body, such as the cardiovascular system.

And it is not just supplement-to-supplement interactions to worry about—some also interact with prescription medicines. Calcium, for instance, can reduce the absorption of many medications.

Before or After Exercise?
You go to the gym for a reason, whether it's for weight loss, muscle building or general cardio fitness. If you take supplements specifically designed to support those efforts, it is important to know what to take and when.

For energy supplements like caffeine or green tea, try to take those about an hour before you begin exercise. Whey protein powders, shakes and other supplements that provide fuel for your muscles (creatine, BCAAs) can be taken about 15 minutes prior to exercise.

After workouts, you need to fuel those muscles once again. Whey protein, therefore, is great both pre- and post-workout. You could also consider adding a protein that digests more slowly to optimize your entire post-workout recovery.
 

High sugar foods

For an adult of a normal body mass index (BMI), that works out to about 6 teaspoons (or 25 grams) of sugar per day. However, in each day, we have nearly 5x the recommended sugar intake. Some surprisingly high sugar foods are listed below.

1. Muffins

Muffins are often loaded with as many as 15 grams of sugar per serving. They seem like a quick, healthy breakfast or snack—especially the ones with fruit. But they are formulated for your sweet tooth.

2. Breakfast Bars/Granola Bars ?Protein Bars

What masquerades as a healthy breakfast item is really a front for added sugar and high fructose corn syrup. Granola bars can have up to 9 grams of sugar per bar, along with other unhealthy ingredients like enriched white flour. The same for the most popular protein bars.

3. Cereal 

Although we usually eat cereal for breakfast. cereal may contains over 10 grams of sugar. In fact, sugary cereals are practically nothing but sugar.

4. Store-Bought Spaghetti Sauce 

A jar of spaghetti sauce may contain up to 12 grams of added sugar per serving.

5. Salad Dressing (up to 10 grams of sugar)

The same for salad dressing. They make up for a lack of fat flavor by boosting sugar content. Try using balsamic vinegar, organic olive oil or a pinch of organic Italian seasoning instead.

6. Condiments  (over 10 grams of sugar)

Ketchup. BBQ sauce, mayonnaise, ranch dips, etc (except regular yellow mustard), are all loaded with sugar.

7. Fruit Juice & Flavored Teas  (up to 36 grams of sugar)

Fruit juice sounds healthy but it contains fructose. And tea is great if you do not add flavor (i.e. sugar).

8. Energy Drinks (up to 54 grams of sugar)

Energy drinks rely heavily on caffeine to make good on their promise and they are also loaded up with sugar.

9. Milk 

Processed milk is one of the leading sources of hidden sugar, containing a whopping 12 grams per serving. If you eat a healthy diet that includes fresh veggies, you are getting all the calcium your body needs without drinking milk.

10. Bread (up to 3 grams of sugar per slice)

Store-bought bread is loaded not only with added sugar, but unhealthy preservatives.

 

   11.    Yogurt (up to 20 grams of sugar)
